Half Acre Daisy Cutter

Half Acre Beer Co.   Chicago, IL

Notes:

Pale Ale

16oz Can

5.2% ABV

Appearance:  Pours an awesome deep autumn orange color…thin, off white head formed and remained…fairly transparent, there’s some bubble action happening here…(3.75/5)

Smell:  Fresh citrus smell (orange peel, tangerine, mandarin) and smooth pale malts…as it warms, it loses some of character…it’s nice, but could be more…(3.5/5)

Taste:  Pale malts almost entirely….i’ve lost some of that citrus zest that the nose offered and I’m not getting too much hops bite…though, the more I drink, the more the orange peel flavor does become apparent, which helps round out the overall package…light citrus bitterness in the after taste…pretty much a straight forward pale ale…(3.5/5)

Mouthfeel:  Light to medium body, light carbonation…watery, crisp and refreshing…very light pale ale…(3/5)

Overall:  This is a very drinkable brew…while it’s not outstanding, the flavor and texture make this the perfect beer for summertime parties or that trip to the disc golf course…with it’s 5.2% ABV, I could seriously drink this all day and not get tired of it…here in Chicago, this brew has a reputation as a beer drinkers’ favorite and I can see why…a good brew worthy of a six pack and a friendly engagement…(4/5)

Score:

(3.47/5)
